The fact that he thinks that it’s OK to act like that says everything you need to know about him.

His fans love him so much but he clearly has no respect for them.

It’s pathetic.

Look at how much honour Celine Dion brings to the country. Nice to see her being bestowed with her Order of Canada at Rideau Hall Friday. She was young once, too, and I don’t remember her acting so stupid.

She has brought so much goodwill to Canada from her worldwide fame.

Meanwhile, the worldwide superstar Bieber is starting to look more like a national disgrace than somebody Canadians can be proud of.

He had two terrific sold-out shows here this week but still might actually be our biggest embarrassment.

Jimmy Kimmel on U.S. TV says it’s time for “Canada to pick him up” but a lot of us are starting to think maybe the United States can keep him.

Either way, his fans deserve better than someone like this. He had better apologize.

One of these times he is going to spit on the wrong person.

It’s only a matter of time before this out-of-control punk really steps in the mud.

While on Canadian soil the Stratford brat’s parents or grandparents had better get through his moronic entourage and smack him across the head.

He needs it.

It’s not how Canadian stars act.

Maybe the CFL fans got it right for booing him at the Grey Cup.

Justin Bieber has become unlikable. The guy has become a classless jerk.

You don’t have to worry at all about this group of people leading our children into the future.

For example the old premier Dalton McGuinty didn’t read the curriculum document.

The minister of education Liz Sandals also proudly didn’t read it and also doesn’t know of any refinements currently underway.

And now the former TDSB head says he didn’t write his own stuff because he was too dedicated and swamped with work.

It’s quite the education leaders we have.

It should result in some interesting graduates from our schools in the year to come.

They sure have terrific mentors.

Maybe it’s the media’s fault. Or maybe we just have less than impressive leaders in the province of Ontario.

But Ontarians do have a chance to send a message to this Liberal government in five byelections Aug. 1.

A defeat in all five ridings would certainly change the landscape up at Queen’s Park.

It needs it.

If it were being judged on performance it would be a no brainer.

I already thought this but it came even clearer with Premier Wynne’s response, or lack of response, to the revelation that the OPP commissioner wanted to proceed with charges against some native protesters at Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory but was stopped by a local crown in Napanee.

First she said she would not “wade” into it — despite the fact that CN Rail has said it was “very disappointed” with the decision.

Then, after a second round of question in Niagara on the Lake by the Sun News Network’s Rebecca Thompson, she may have said more but she said even less.

“So I think I have answered this questions a number of times (she didn’t) in terms of not interfering with the police action that would or would not be taken.”

Then after some more political speak about such things as “discussion of energy infrastructure” she started talking about how “if you break the law the relationship with First Nations be part of the up-front work that is done in order to avoid to have the kind of situation you are speaking about.”

What’s it mean?

Alberta Premier Alison Redford also answered by saying she agreed with Wynne and talked of the realities of “if you break the law there are consequences to that.”

But the whole point is there were no consequences for the alleged criminals at Tyendinaga.

What happened was the OPP want to charge some people for allegedly committing a crime and someone is stopping them from doing that.

Our leaders who don’t read anything or know anything don’t seem smart enough to even know what day it is, let alone lead us into the future.

Obviously there is not going to be any meaningful response about there being two sets of laws in Ontario.

And there is no way for media to get any answer because you can’t follow up a non answer from these politicians with another question.

We will find out Aug. 1 if Ontarians in these five ridings are paying attention.

The only thing I know about Bixi bikes is when I run across a station, most or all of the bikes are always there.

In the end the taxpayer will get stuck with another failed scheme-dream from certain people on counsel who saw this kind of thing in Europe and tried to instil it here.

The a la Carte program was another colossal failure just like Transit City.

Somebody has to say it. If private enterprises can’t work without taxpayer help, let them die. Let the market decide things. It’s not just capitalism but common sense.

Saturday is a very special day for Korean War veterans who are having a commemorative service at HMCS Haida in Hamilton at 1:30 p.m.

“This all came about in September 2010 when my buddy Ron Kirk and I were returning from a revisit to Korea that was sponsored by the Republic of Korea Government,” said veteran Andy Barber. “The people were so generous and grateful for Canada’s participation in the war that their gratitude and generosity became embarrassing. We tried to explain that we hadn’t done much but they weren’t buying it.”

And they showed our boys how much they meant it.

“We were expecting to be set up in some naval barracks with canteen food during our stay. Instead they set us up in the five-star Hotel

Lotte International in Seoul. Everywhere we went they gave us gifts and stuffed us with the best food that money could buy.”

It’s nice when the Canadian contribution is appreciated.

Andy reminds us that 516 Canadians died there and not a day goes by that he doesn’t think of them.

It’s nice to see that there are people in Korea who remember too.

Andy and his pals are also hard at work at trying to raise money for a memorial for nine sailors who died.

“The Ron Joyce Foundation provided a significant donation as did the Halton Veterans Naval Club in Burlington,” he said. “We are still looking for funds as the monument is estimated to cost about $52,000.

We don’t forget their sacrifice.

Former Blue Jay fan favourite Frank “The Cat” Catalanotto returned to Toronto this week where he attended a charity book signing of his book Heart & Hustle in East York this week organized by Justin “Shaker” Van Dette who’s in his 10th season as a member of the Jays game staff and a Toronto East General Hospital staffer. During the signing the Cat announced he was directing a portion of the proceeds from each book sold to the TEGH and helped promote the Danforth Dash Bed Race Aug. 9 as part of the Pilaros Taste of the Danforth. Frank is a good guy. Big question, though: Can he stay in town and help the sad sack Blue Jays again?

Have a good time if you get to go out to the Canadian Open at Glen Abbey. Good luck to the golfers. The Beaches Jazz Festival is always a terrific blast. Have a super weekend everyone. Summer is almost half over. Savour it. Scrawler out.

Justin Bieber, Korean vets and don't forget to vote

We know Justin Bieber urinates in buckets, flips off former presidents, swears at and threatens paparazzi and thinks Anne Frank would have been a fan.

The guy has been doing so much monkeying around it’s hard to keep all of his stupid antics straight.

But now the goofball spits on his fans?

TMZ has the pictures of the spit at least. It’s not clear where the gob landed. There is a restaurant below.

It doesn’t matter.

The fact that he thinks that’s okay to act like that says everything you know about him.

His fans love him so much but he clearly has no respect for them.

It’s pathetic.

Look at how much honour Celine Dion brings to the country. Nice to see her being bestowed with her Order of Canada at Rideau Hall Friday. She was young once, too, and I don’t remember her acting so stupid.
